This child's-eye view of the Freedom Trail's architecture and history is especially designed for young walkers 6-12 years of age.

Walking along Boston's historic Freedom Trail and part of Boston's
original coastline, children will experience the historical sites that
played a key role in American independence: Faneuil Hall, the Old State House and the Old South Meeting House. Learning about the Boston Massacre on the site where it occurred brings a new dimension to the study of American history.

Stops also include the site of the first public school in America and the oldest burial ground in Boston. This tour covers ten sites in downtown Boston but is shorter and faster-paced than our Heart of the Freedom Trail tour.

Our guides love to point out the fun and interesting attractions
along the route such as Shem Drowne's Grasshopper, the Royal Lion and
Unicorn, Benjamin Franklin Flying a Kite, and the Democrat Donkey. The
guiding questions in our complimentary Explorer's Map will help your child learn about Boston's role in the American Revolution and discover the materials on which a city is built.
